Connection powerchute to management card using non standard http/https ports

[BillP]

Hello

I need to configure a Powerchute windows client to connect to a management card using http/https protocol through non standard ports. I noticed that you can modify port number, but no one is accepted, except for 80 and 443, that are standard ports.

I tried also to modify pcnsconfig.ini, but I got this error:

"The ini contains an invalid value for port in section NetworkManagementCard. Using 443 instead".

It is really not possible to set a non standard port for http/https?

Thanks
Fabio

Hi,

The supported port are listed in Schneider Electric FAQ FA159753 "HTTP and HTTPS Allowed Port Values for PowerChute Network Shutdown" 

Issue:
HTTP and HTTPS Allowed Port Values for PowerChute Network Shutdown

Product Line:
PowerChute Network Shutdown

Environment:
All supported OS

Cause:
Informational

Solution:
The allowed values are: 
80 or 3052 (when HTTP is selected) 
443 or 6547 (when HTTPS is selected) 
5000 - 32768 (when either HTTP or HTTPS is selected)

Test I changed the web setting of AP9631 for http to port 5000 and rebooted the NMC. I then change the pcnsconfig.ini to log into the NMC via http using port 5000 and restart the PCNS service. When selecting launch from within the PCNS web interface the web interface is launched and I can log in.
